"If I say that in five years' time, this college will be able to send hundreds or even thousands of scholars to our government agencies across the country every year, do you think it is worth the money?"
Liu Deng's words immediately made Chen Qi struggle a little.
"Ten years from now, this academy in our country will be full of students and plums. A hundred years from now, it will be the foundation of our great nation for all generations. But it is just a piece of shit. Why should Lord Chen care about it?"
Hearing what Liu Deng said, Zhang Tu's eyes began to fill with tears. He still can't forget that before Liu Shen died, he took his right hand and begged him to take care of his son.
Now, seeing Liu Deng's far-reaching vision, he even felt for a moment, what did those millions mean?
"But, can this academy really succeed?"
Liu Deng was very familiar with the skill of painting cakes to satisfy his hunger. However, Chen Qi was obviously still not used to Liu Deng's lavish habits and was still a little unsure.
"Hahaha, I will let you know more about this. Your Majesty is here to inspect the country this time. I am planning to let Your Majesty assume the responsibility of the dean. If this happens, I wonder if you think this academy can become the world's best. First Academy?”
Liu Deng smiled strangely. He could not get the credit for going to the county this time. The emperor must be apologetic to him. It would be better to consume the emperor's apology as soon as possible.
Otherwise, this thing will depreciate too quickly, and it will easily ferment into some weird things.
"Your Majesty, can this really happen?"
Zhang Tu's eyes also lit up. At that time, the Jixia Academy of Qi State became famous all over the world, and finally the situation of a hundred schools of thought contending was born, which made Qi State become one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period.
If this academy can really be built like Jixia Academy, the country's take-off will be just around the corner!
"Hahaha, of course it can be done. Master Chen, I am born with talent that will be useful. I will come back after all the money I have spent! Isn't this deal worth it for a mere idiot in exchange for a college that will shine forever?"
"It's worth it! Your Majesty is right. As long as your Majesty is here, this thousand gold will come back naturally. Besides, as long as the Han Dynasty is still there, we will never be short of money! Five hundred thousand guan, only half a month!"
Liu Deng's words really made Chen Qi clear away his gloom, and his face suddenly became excited.
"That's right. According to our previous settings, we will start construction from the first phase first. We will talk about the city wall last. We will first build the students' dormitories, teaching places, and dining halls, and give me the shelves of this college. Build it up!”
The most important gentlemen in the college have already been deceived. As for recruiting students, Liu Deng is still hesitant on how to do it. After all, his position is to teach without discrimination.
However, the literacy rate in this era is really too low. Without basic education, everything is just a mirror image!
However, the top priority is to deal with the bad money issue first, and the enrollment matter can be put aside later.
"Let's go back to what we just said. Leave all these gold and silver to me. From today on, all our large external transactions will be settled in gold and silver! Then, let me know that I have the secret art of papermaking and equipment in my hands. , intending to wait for the price!"
"No, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"
Zhang Tu and Chen Qi immediately jumped up. Just look at Wu Guo to see how profitable papermaking is. With such profitable technology, why do they need to sell it in such a hurry?
"Don't worry, you two listen to me, this is my king's plan, come take a look!"
Liu Deng said, showing them the plan he had just written for them to read.
"First of all, let's re-establish a commercial bank, let's call it Wenchang Bank. This commercial bank will be in the name of the college. Except for the necessary shareholders, all the proceeds will be used to subsidize the future expenses of the college!"
While they watched, Liu Deng explained again and again.
"Your Majesty, what does this have to do with the issue of bad coins?"
Chen Qi was a little confused about what Liu Deng wanted to say.
"The annual income of the papermaking industry in Liu Bi's hands has now begun to reach nearly 10 million yuan. I have spread the word that I want to sell this technology together with the production equipment. What do you think they will do?"
This is Liu Deng’s method. If you act like a hooligan with me, let’s see who of us is more hooligan!
"Your Majesty, do you mean to ask them to use the rat weapon?"
Zhang Tu understood what Liu Deng meant, his eyes lit up and he said.
"That's right, as long as I don't swing out this sword, they will have to be wary, and I will be able to make plans calmly! Let's start a currency war with them!"
This matter cannot be solved by himself, so Liu Deng needs helpers, and most importantly, he now needs the emperor's support.
The relationship between the imperial court and the State of Wu has now begun to gradually fall apart, and there is a trend of going further and further away. The only difference now is Liu Qi's chessboard!
That chessboard inlaid with gold and jade has been sent to Liu Deng for a long time, but I don’t know when it will fly to Liu Xian’s head!
“Currency war?”
This concept confused Chen Qi and Zhang Tu, and they were completely unable to understand the importance of this matter.
"Don't be anxious. Your Majesty, Taifu, just ask people to expand the treasury of our country and prepare it for money. This time, I want the princes of the seven countries to give all the money that they have taken away from our country over the years." I’ll spit it out with interest!”
"Your Majesty, you must not act recklessly!"
Zhang Tu trembled when he heard this. Last time, the salt road battle almost scared the bureaucrats of Dai State to death. Now Liu Deng is so big that he fights the Seven Kingdoms alone. This will cause public outrage!
"Don't worry, I promise, they won't even know where the money went in the end!"
Although Liu Deng did not major in finance, playing with these bunch of bumpkins was enough to kill them!
"Your Majesty, what should we do next..."
Although Liu Deng tried his best to write as straightforwardly as possible, Zhang Tu was still confused by what he wrote due to two thousand years of cultural accumulation.
"First hold him back for half a year. After half a year, my plan is completed. I want to see how they die! From today on, raise gold and silver for me at all costs!"
It was difficult for Liu Deng to explain to them how big his game of chess was, so he could only let them do things they could understand.
"promise!"
"What about the Wu Kingdom?"
A lot of money was flowing in the first day they opened over there. Every time money came in, they had to lose 400 coins!
"Inform them that for the convenience of transportation, from now on, only gold and silver will be accepted for bulk transactions. Once the news of our selling papermaking technology comes out, Liu Bi should be honest for a while!"
"What about the millions of copper coins in their hands?"
